At the First Baptist Church yesterday, the Summer union services of that church and Grace Methodist Church, began a large audience being present. Rev. Alex ander Blackburn preached from the text, Islah xlllkll. "I, even I am the Lord, and bet,ldo Me there is no Savior." He said: "It is the open and often avowed claim cf the Scripture that there Is but one "Way of salvation; not one God the best of all Gods, but one only God; not one Savior the bet of all Saviors, but one only Savior: not one way better than others, but one only way. In the matter of salvation God claims nothing less than a monopoly. This is a trite saying, yet one that needs to be emphasized Just now. "Eight years ago wc had the Parliament of Religions in Chicago. All the great Telig ons of the world were represented. Gautama, Mohammed. Confucius and Christ were put on the same level, Christ the greatest, perhaps, but the difference "was in degree, not in kind. Peter on that platform would have sounded a dis cordant note as he said: 'There is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.' "It is well to remember that truth has Jts oneness as well as Its many-sidedness. There is no cry for more than one 6un In the solar system. The old Bun has a monoroly in giving light. There are not several multiplication tables, or half A dozen solutions to the real problem of the right-angled triangle. A nation has one. and only one King or President. We have one Constitution by which all laws are tested. The old flag of our country has no rival in calling out the allegiance of the people. "Religion has no monopoly of the claim of monopolistic rights. But a little about the thing in which Jehovah claims to be sole proprietor. It is In the enterprise of saving men. I find that God is called Creator five times, Judge eleven times and Savior 37 times. If we Include terms of like import, such as Redeemer, Delleverer and verbs that convey the name thought, we And that God is oftenest known In Jtiis word as Savior not Savior in the sense that hf transplants men from earth to heaven, but In the larger sense of sav ing for this life, saving society, saving business, saving the home, saving earth and making it heaven. In this angels may be messengers, enllghteners, guard lane, but not saviors. Men may be kings, and priests, and preachers, and helpers, but -not saviors. This God reserves for himself. "There, are three wayB of, saving the wheat that fs now ripening in our beauti ful Oregon valleys. We may gather the beGt and send It to Buffalo s an exhibit of our products. That would save it, and It may be that God sometimes thus saves men, but not often. We may harvest it and after careful winnowing send it to the mill where It Is made Into good Hour for Ihe feeding of men. That saves It and makes it a blessing. So are men saved lo minister to the world's needs. Then we may save It, protecting from all that -would harm, until the seeding time comes, then put It Into the soil that It may bring forth more wheat. So God savca men to multiply his people In the earth. "Then God is a monopolist of salvation because he only knows the need of the world. One of the most dangerous no tions of our times Is the common on-, that after all there Is no special need of salvation. The siren song 'no danger' ft enticing many a soul toward the rocks that wreck lives. God only has power to save to the uttermost. No condition is so sad as to see the need of salvation and not be able to save. Every physician ltnotfn what I mean. Every mother knows it God's !rm Is not shortened that it cannot save. Then God alone is perfect love and this constitutes him the only savior. In the boundless resources of his love, and in the saving strength of his anointed he Is able to save the most desperate case. "The two practical thoughts are: First, the world's greatest need is the manifest presence of Jehovah In saving power. 2Cot our philosophy or our machinery, but God working. Second, God works through his people. As the Government saves through the brave men otithe life-saving stations, so God saves through the men and women who are true to him and their place in the world." SERMONS IN FLOWERS. Every Blossom Shovrs Evidence ot God's Hnndlworlt. The floral service yesterday morning at Mlzpah Presbyterian Church, Powell street, was unusually attractive and brought out a large attendance. It was conducted by Rev. Jerome R. McGlade. the pastor, whose discourse was on "Ser mons in Flowers." To assist in carrying out the floral idea, the church had been decorated with a profusion of roses and blotsoms of every tint and color. Rev. Mr. McGlade took for his text Matthew vI:2S, "Consider the lilies, how they grow." He said: "Flowers have been characterized as 'the smiles of God's goodness.' One apos trophizes them: 'Your voiceless lips, O flowers, are living preachers, each cup a pulpit and each leaf a book.' Jesus Christ had no home, no place to lay his head, but the groves were his temples, the grass Interwoven with lilies was the carpet of his feet. The mountain side or summit became the favorite place for 'his retreat upon the life of God.' To him nature spoke. Christ has been spoken of as a poet. He saw with his artist's vision and .felt with the poet's soul. For him nature was an open book, full of wondrous thoughts. It is said that many walk through this world and never see "the rift of dawn, the reddening of the rose. "A lady once said to the artist Turner: 'Mr. Turner, I cannot see all in nature that you describe there.' 'Ah, madam, 'do you not wish you could?' replied Tur .ner. 'Consider the lilies of the field,' said Jesus. The word 'consider' means to examine carefully. Possibly human na ture differs little now from then. Mind was then, as now, engrossed In a thou sand ways. Distractions and anxieties were many, burdens heavy, faith was often smali. No doubt Jesus addressed many who had scarcely noted the bloom ing lilies. Our Lord did not mean for the people to go botanizing and to study scientifically the flowers. That is for schools, although many are the religious lessons suggested. Neither did he mean for them to study Into the mystery of growth. 'How they grow' did not Imply an analysis of life or life's processes. Rather they should take the more gen eral thought the fact that the flowers were about them, and from this discover religion's truth." The line of thought" Is easily followed; the flowers teach a ser mon concerning design, plan and order. Every blbssom shows the touch of his handiwork. One soul was convinced of God's existence, who, on examination of a little flower, and .then another of the same variety, found that he was-not liv ing in a world of chance, but of order and deBlgn. Flowers teach lessons in beauty. There have been minds too stern to acknowledge beauty, too puritanical to consider the grace o'f loveliness. Sure ly the God who painted the flowers de lighted in beauty. Some fear to make re ligion attractive, yet it ought to be made so, for be who made us has spread beauty before us In th,e heavens, in the bur nished sunset, in the landscape, in the mountains, in the valleys. Surely he meant that religion and life and- charac ter and" home and city should all be beau tilled. The esthetic element Is in the soul dimly planted, and should be culti vated. "A lesson In modesty Is also learned from flowers. Christ referred to the Pharisees aB seeking " out chief' places. Chief places are still sought. So the lesson applies Itself to life. A modest, retiring nature is an attractive one, and Is like the flower that is 'born to blush unseen.: A great many must live appar ently hidden, unrecognized; yet to live grandly thus is not to live in vain. Where have we a better sermon on immortality lhan fro-n theso htlsht blossons? rne are emblematic of our own great resur rection. "Flowers preach a sermon upon God's care for his children. It is said: "Where fore, If God clothes the grass of the field which today is, ana tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?' A beautiful, tender sentiment was expressed by Rob ert Burns in his ode to the daisy. He seemed to regard It has having feeling. But infinitely .tender Is he who said that God would clothe the life of man; who counseled a great, faith. Of him it is written. "The bruised reed he will not break.' Tennyson was fight; for if man can know the little flower in the cran nied wall, root and all and all, he would know God and him in his relation to man. As he said, the flower is bound to two worlds by its physical structure to this earth and by Its beauty and significance to the spiritual realm. This same poet said: 'What the sun Is to the rose, Christ is to my life.' " REV. RAY PALMER TAKES LEAVE. Farewell Sermon on the Beauty Of a Christian Life. Rev. Ray Palmer preached his farewell sermon In the Second Baptist Church, East Side, yesterday morning. It was ex pected that the farewell services would be held In the evening, but Mr. Palmer found It necessary to start for Chicago at 2 o'clock in order to keep his engage ment to speak before the National As sembly of the B. Y. P. V. next Thursday. Mr. Palmer's subject was "Worship God." He pointed to the fact that the most suc cessful men and women of the world, who have done the most for humanity, have been true worshipers and spiritual minded men and women. They have been imbued with the real Christian spirit, afid Mr. Palmer said that as he had come to the close of his pastorate he wanted to urge upon the young people the advan tage of living for something higher and better than to make money and have a good time. There was something Infinitely higher and grander than the mere frivol ities of life, and that was a true Chris tian life. There were few, said the speak er, who could indulge in the pleasures bf the dance, the theater and other amuse ments and still retain their spiritual lite. Only those of the strongest character could do this, and his parting words to the young people of Second ChUrch, and of Portland, were a strong admonition to choose the higher Christian life, in pref erence to the mere physical enjoyments that could not last. "Mrs. Palmer and myself," said Mr. Palmer, "have learned to love the Sec ond Church and Portland. Though we may be engaged in other scenes and other fields, we shall not s$on forget he five years we have spent at Second Church. We may not meet here again, but at the great white throne there will be a re union when we shall clasp hands. But wo hope to come back to Portland In the course of a few years, certainly. In 1905, when the great fair Is held here. Now, may the blessings of Almighty God rest upon this church and the people of Port land." At the close of the sermon the congrega tion gathered at the altar, and, grasping the hand of Mr. Palmer, bade him fare well and Godspeed. ENVY'S CLUB EVER PRESENT. But the Gospel TaUea It Array and Makes Men Brothers. Rev. B. J. Hoadley, D. D.. by Invita tion, occupied the pulpit of Taylor-Street Methodist Church yesterday morning, in the absence of Dr. Kellogg. The text of the sermon was Genesis Iv:18, "And Cain said unto the Lord, My punishment is greater than I can bear." Dr. Hoadley said: "Cain and Abel lived together, and yet were far apart. So It ever Is. Two per sons eating at the same table may have between them the distance of the east from the west. Abel received meekness from his flocks, Cain stubbornness from the soil. Both attended meeting; but Judge of people as they are after meet ing Is out. Cain ought to have been glad that Abel was accepted by heaven, and troubled that he was rejected. The club envy put In the hand of Cain sent Abel Into paradise, and slew not Abel, but Cain himself. " 'And the Lord said unto Cain, "Where Is Abel, thy brother? And he said, 'I know not: Am -I my brother's keeper?' Calp not only told a He. but .tried to make himself believe it. God does not accuse Cain, for he accuses himself. No accu sation Is like that of self-accusation. Canst thou not minister to & mind diseased; Pluck from the memory a roited sorrow Said the self-accusing Macbeth to the physician. So Cain inflicts upon himself his own punishment. Sin always digs Its own pit, lights Its own fires and makes its own smoke. "Let man pull himself away from God and he begins to -hurt others.. David on the throne has all the dogs of envy bark ing at him. Boys climb well-filled apple trees, not willows. If a person wants anything or has anything, how mean he Is! He finds It all out. "The club of envy has come down the ages to our century. Capital has it, and so labor. The gospel takes away the club and makes men brothers. The Christian who halts with conversion and does not step out into brotherhood mistakes, and modern socialistic movements are astray in an effort to realize brotherhood with out the new life from heaven." FREE METHODIST CAMPMEETING. Gospel Expounded In Old-FasMoaed Style by Bishop Sellevr. The annual campmeetlng of the Free Methodists, on the grounds between East Eleventh and East Twelfth and Division and Clinton streets, was the center of much attraction yesterday. Many tents have been raised, and the main assembly pavilion stands on Division street. The lnclosure yesterday was crowded with wagons and buggies from the surrounding country. There was a continuous service, beginning with morning prayer, at 6 o'clock. This was followed by an old fashioned love feast. Bishop W. A. Sel lew. one of the leading men of the Free Methodist Church, preached at 11 o'clock an old-time gospel seraon, punc tured all the way with exclamations of approval and amens from the audience. After lunch a children's meeting was ad dressed by a number of speakers. Later in the afternoon an educational meeting was held, during which addresses were delivered by Professor and Preceptress Shea, o the Seattle Seminary. The pro fessor made a strong plea in behalf of that institution, and pointed out the good It is accomplishing for the. Christian educa tion of children. Preceptress Shea called for financial assistance to make improve ments to the building. About ?50 was raised. Bishop Scllew preached in the evening. The services on the campground will be held every night this week. The preachers present the old-fashioned gospel. Their addresses are blunt. In dress the Free Methodists are severely plain. Jewelry is not worn, and In the churches plalness is observed. There are no paid choirs, and the ringing Is by the congregation. FUNERAL OF A PIONEER. Mrs. E. L. Blossom Burled Beside Body of Her Husband. The funeral of Mrs. Elizabeth Louise Blossom took place yesterday from her home, 327 Twelfth street, and the relig ious exercises were conducted by Rev. Dr. Hill, of the First Presbyterian Church. Mrs. Blossom was a resident in Portland for about SO" years, and she was highly esteemed among pioneer families for her lovely character and works of charity. Her husband was one of Portland's old time merchants. The Interment took place beside the body of Mrs. Blossom's husband in Lone Fir cemetery. ' AT THE HOTELS. THE PORTLAND.

Fish Welshing Ten to Fourteen Pounds Haxe Been Reported, bnt Never Seen. Since the shad planted In the Columbia River have attained their growth and be come plentiful. It has ben asserted by fishermen that they grow larger nere than they do on the -Atlantic Coast. It Is said that six pounds Is about a fair average weight for full-grown Eastern Shad, and that an eight-pound shad is considered a whopper there. It is further averred that Columbia River shad attain a weight of 10 pounds, and the capture of several weighing 11 pounds "or mbre has been re ported, but these extra large fish have never been put In evidence, though a few specimens weighing over nine pounds have been seen here. For several years past fishermen who handle shad In large quan tities have been trying to put on exhibi tion here a 10-pound shad, but no one has yet succeded In doing this. Although the capture of several shad weighing over 10 pounds has been reported, something has always prevented their being ex hibited here. The "Manual of Fish Cul ture," lately Issued by the United States Fish Commission, describes the shad as the "largest and most valuable member of the herring family In the United States," and gives the weight of these fish taken In the fisheries of the Atlantic Coast as follows: ' "Mature males, V& to 6 pounds; average, about 3 pounds. Mature females, 3 to 6 pounds; average, 4 pounds. The general average for both sexes Is between 8?4 and 4 pounds. In the early history of the fish eries shad weighing 11, 12 and even 14 pounds were reported, but 9-pound shad are very rareon the Atlantic Const, and 10 pounds seems to be the 'maximum. -On the Pacific Coast shad average a pound or more heavier than on the, Atlantic, .occa sionally attaining a weight of 14 pounds, and many have been 'reported' weighing 9 to 12 pounds." The shad which weigh 10 to 14 pounds are the ones people hear of, but never see, but they may yet attain that weight in the Columbia. AMUSEMENTS. Close of the Wiedemann 'Engage ment at the Metropolitan. "Little Miss Thompson" Is the name of the startling drama with which the "Wiedemann Company closed their engage ment at the Metropolitan last night, and little Miss Thompson is a" waif who Is adopted by a rich old man, and with rare presence of mind turns out In the last act to be the daughter of his erring son, who returns to the fold In 'time for the veal dinner, which is to take place Im mediately after the fall of the curtain. There is always something doing in the play. Either the villain, who wears store clothes and courts the girl part of the time and goes forth to cut throats and' drug wine the rest of It, Is engaged In a murder or a burglary, or Christopher' Lamb, a lawyer Is turning up and foiling him. In the third act the villain poisons the whisky about to be partaken of by the prodigal, but the daughter, In the dis guise of a newsboy, changes the glasses, and the victim escapes. So tho villain takes him into the next room, to shoot him, but an officer arrives to "pinch" the place, and tho prodigal escapes once more. . After four acts of battle murder and sudden death, the villain is taken red handed in the act of blowing a safe, and is led away to Jail, while the prodigal Is welcomed to his father's hearth and every thing is. lovely. The company were all In the play, and the specialties wore interesting. Actors and CrltlclRnM. New York Dratnatie Mirror. The actor who called on the veteran Leavenworth editor to resent unfavorable criticism of his acting by "cleaning out" the office and was put to instant flight by the powerful stream of water that the editor turned on him through a hose, doubtless will let his wrath cool oft In some other way the next time. Such a reception Is calculated to dampen the spirit of the most belligerent objector. As a rule, actors stand criticism with philosophy and fortitude. They recognize It as one of the necessary Incidents to their profession, and, while they grumble sometimes, they are generally more qui escent Under the sting of public censure of their work than almost any other class of men, except politicians. Occasionally, when personal abuse takes the place of impartial criticism, the actor who should take the punishment of that injury into his own hands would be doing a service to all the members of his calling, If not prospering his own interests: but in the case out in Kansas the would-be cleaner-out apparently had no such Jus tification. He objected simply to fair crit icism, and the editor used the hose with the same energy and effect that he em ploys in using his pen. Notes of the Stage.

Idaho, July 21. It has now been determined to build an extension of the Pacific & Idaho Northern Railway for a distance of & miles toward the Seven Devils. ThlB extension is not according to the original survey, that turns to the northeast and mount the divide along the Little Salmon. The proposed extension Is solely for mining purposes, and gives credence to the assertion that at loot the mining possibilities of the famous Seven Devils are to be tested. But even with the extension of 20 miles completed, there is yet a distance of 24 miles to be built before the first copper mines will be reached. There seems to be every indication that mining is to be carried on. The smelter Is to be built about BO miles from here, which locates the smelter 94 miles from tho nearest copper mine of tho Seven Devils district. In explanation of the building of the smelter where there Is neither fuel nor mineral product, the pronioters of the project say only that this ts done after mature deliberation. Changes are taking place In trade af filiations and Portland Is beginning to get Its rightful heritage here. The first ear load of canned goods arrived from Port land a few days ago and will have wide distribution from this end of the railroad. Downing, Hopkins & Co. ESTABLISH:!) I.HM3.
